The scheme is sometimes called the hard or the Mayo clinic diet egg diet.

The boiled egg diet causes deficiencies in protein, calcium (no dairy or fruit), potassium and vitamins. It is not compatible with an activity because it leads to fatigue and poor physical shape (very inadequate energy intake for your body, which will draw its needs in adipose tissue but also in muscle and bone). Be careful, you lose muscle mass (because the daily protein intakes range from 30 to 60 grams while your body needs 80 grams) at the same time as your body fat.
Hunger will seem very important with the hard boiled egg diet.
The Mayo regimen is rich in fat and cholesterol. It is therefore not to extend more than 14 days recommended otherwise you may weaken your cardiovascular system. You do not need to follow a hard-boiled egg diet if you're heart, aged, pregnant.
As you will consume a lot of eggs (this diet is very monotonous), you may not be able to eat for a while to stop the plan (sick). Be sure to choose fresh eggs and good quality.


You can not avoid the yo-yo stopped a boiled egg diet. You return all the lost kilograms or more. This is the fault of a system that lost kilograms too quickly and without post-diet (no tracking or food education) program to soften the yo-yo effect and limit the damage (stabilization).
Seen all these problems, we recommend that you do not follow this diet unless you are monitored by a dietitian or if you follow a dedicated clinic.
